I'm Fran (short for Francine) and I reside in the occasionally sunny Derbyshire, England. I have loved anything creative or artistic since I was very young. My inspiration comes from lots of things, particularly vintage artifacts, natural rustic elements, mixed media art and a bit of steampunk. When I create it's like piecing a jigsaw together until everything "fits".

"I've used Kasia's stencils in a variety of ways, building up patterns and textures with ink, modeling paste and pencils to show the different effects you can get. I've used the TCW553 Stone Ringas the focal point and layered the TCW549 Oblong stencil around it creating symmetry."
